Event Details

Join Alkali Rye and James Beard recognized Lion Dance Cafe for a very special meet-the-winemaker dinner in the beautiful event space above their iconic bottle shop.

LDC is designing four springtime courses (plus a welcome bite) to complement outstanding wines by Ruby Blanca Wines and Idlewild Wines, and a beer selected by Cicerone Sayre Piotrkowski. Thoughtful non-alcoholic pairings curated by Alkali Rye’s own Jessica Moncada Konte are available as well. Food and drink pairings are included in the ticket price, and the highlighted drink makers and curators will be present to talk about their processes.

The party is also happening downstairs from 4pm til close, with a drinks-by-the-glass corner and a selection of sweet and savory snacks and foods by Lion Dance Cafe available to enjoy onsite while you peruse all that the store has to offer, or to-go! All to the LDC soundtrack. Downstairs is open to all with or without reservation, so either simply walk in and join the fun, come in before your reservation for a drink and bite, or linger after your meal and do a little shopping.

A fun schedule all around, and it’s on Mothers’ Day!
